Text needs "updating" after style language change to be grammar checked

Hello all,

I have changed the language of all the styles of my indesign document, but the red underligning still shows as previously. I have discovered I need to cut/paste the text for the grammar checker to recalculate for the new language: is there a way to do this "updating" automatically instead of doing it for every single text zone?

Thanks!

Woho magic, it seems to be updating everything on its own when I start cutting/pasting some of the TextFrames! So end of problem, I just cut and past a few of the TextFrames and then the rest of the document automatically follows. Weird but works!

If you have everything in one long Story - you could select whole Story and "refresh" everything by executing Clear Overrides - but ONLY if you don't have any "local overrides" that you want to keep = everything is styled using Char & ParaStyles. 

 

Otherwise - you are in a big trouble...

 

Or maybe... you could do Find&Change of the languages ONLY - but I'm on my phone so can't check if it will work as intended...

Thanks for the help!

I'm afraid my InDesign mastery level is too low to understand what you're suggesting... What is a "Story" in Indesign? And what are overrides?

 

Here's what my InDesign document looks like if that changes anything.

Story - one or more TextFrames linked together. 

 

Overrides - changes to the text - or objects - that differ from what is defined in the Style.
